My NYFW Experience with PLITZ

New York Fashion Week

About a month ago, I decided to quit my job in order to finish school. A few days after telling my job that I would be putting in my 2 week-notice, I received an email. The email stated that I was invited to be a guest Blogger for their fashion show during New York Fashion Week. To be honest, I don't even know where or how Plitz found me or my blog, but I was thrilled! For me, it was just a simple way of God telling me that I had made the right decision to quit my job and that doors would be opening the more that I trust in Him.

I believed it to be the call of God; that the future holds so much more for me than a simple 9 to 5 job. Of course being invited to that fashion show was not the call on my life, but it was certainly a way for me to remember that God has a greater plan even when one door closes. A reminder to not allow the devil to rob me.

I had the opportunity of meeting some of the designers from the show and being among one of many asking them questions. Designing a line of clothing in hopes that a wide audience of people would accept and wear your items is tough on it's own, so I commend each and every designer that presented to us.

However, my favorite from the show was an artist from the show whose line was a representation of women empowerment, Woman's Touch Apparel. She incorporated a little bit of the current trend, like Dashiki prints, and added her own twist with inspiring and encouraging words written boldly on the attire.
